House Republican lays into Democrats' corruption probe of Trump

The House Judiciary Committee's ranking Republican, Doug Collins, said the panel's investigation into obstruction of justice, corruption and abuse of power under Trump surpasses the scope of legitimate legislative inquiry and violates the U.S. Constitution. Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler launched the investigation on Monday by sending document requests to 81 government agencies, business entities and individuals associated with Trump, including his adult sons, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump. "Your requests are part of a concerted effort to target and punish associates of the president," Collins wrote to Nadler in a March 7 letter released by the Republican's office.
